LACED UP | Nike Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra

Nike’s Mercurial boot has stood the test of time. Nearly three decades of show-stopping both on and off the pitch. It paved the way for a new era of lightweight footwear in the sport and has changed the way boots are being approached from a design perspective. The latest being the most stunning yet. Introducing the Nike Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra.

The limited edition–with only 2,500 pairs available–Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra comes in two colorways, the “triple black” and “black/metallic gold. Unlike most releases, these will only be worn exclusively by Eden Hazard for a short run of matches. The Flyknit Ultra screams class and the metallic gold finish adds a subtle touch of flash.

Hazard, who has worn the Mercurial boot throughout his entire 15 year professional career, was the obvious choice to launch the new series for the brand. The Flyknit Ultra features the Nike Flyknit collared design for a snug feel on the back of the heel. Tech aside, the stunning combo of gold and black brings the aesthetics to a new level. Pure beauty.
